Just Getting Started (I hope)

July 2022

This museum is best suited for very young kids toddlers and probably not over five or six years old.
To be fair the museum was just getting started after moving locations.
The activities and exhibits are very rudimentary my daughter who is eight was bored pretty quickly. For adults accompanying their kids there’s not much for the few places to sit no Café no food or coffee just standing around over your child banging away at things. I hate to be dismissive but I wanna be honest for the sake of review and make sure that anyone reading this has the right expectations.
If I had to do it again I would because there’s not a lot of kids-specific things that I could find in Saratoga.
The museum took up space in a very large building and I would imagine over the years they will do a lot to improve expand what is currently there. Again to be fair I was there at the first week of their opening.

Good For 2 Hours

Oct. 2019 • Family fun

This is a very small children’s museum. Definitely not worth the $40 spent. The kids were bored after only two hours. Very very little to do. In a nutshell don’t waste your time. I will rate this Average because the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Would not go during busy season!

Apr. 2019 • Family fun

The museum was fun and the kids enjoyed themselves (ages 2 and 6) but the building was hot even though it was only April. we went during Spring Break so there were a lot of kids there and i would say there was just the right amount of kids. I can only imagine during the summer months how busy it can get and I would not want to try and keep an eye on my kids during such chaos.

good activity for mixed aged children

March 2019 • Family fun

Took friends 3 yr old & 6yr old. They had a great time and it had things that kept both ages groups busy. It was busy but enough space for kids if area got crowded we could move to another room. Parking lot small but can use lots of few blocks away. You can leave for lunch then go back for more.

Let’s call it like it is

Nov. 2018 • Family fun

This poor excuse for a Children’s Museum is dark, dirty and disappointing. But that doesn’t stop them from charging top dollar and being disengaged and snooty at the door as they take your money.
Play stations are in disrepair and some haven’t been upgraded in decades. They could invest in a few lightbulbs at the least to brighten up this depressing and cramped environment.
Have been to other cities (Ithaca, Rochester) whose children’s museums shine. This place is an embarrassment. Saratoga deserves and can do much better by its kids and families.

1st visit and won’t be the last – a great place for kids!!

July 2018 • Family fun

I brought my 6 y/o daughter here for one of her friend’s birthday parties. Her friends parents had booked a private party, which gave them the run of the place after hours for 2 hours. The attention to detail throughout the 2 story museum is amazing. My daughter loved every inch of the place and can’t wait to go back. The renovated upstairs offers a grocery store, bank, fire truck, diner, veterinary clinic and schoolhouse. Each area was sponsored by a local business that represented the theme and they did an amazing job in creating a world of make believe for children of all ages. They also have a huge gift shop that offers pretty much every Melissa & Doug toy, puzzle or craft they’ve ever created. A must visit if in the Saratoga Spring, NY area.

This is the best children’s museum! We have stopped multiple times and spend the day. You can pack a lunch and eat inside. The price is affordable and it is hours of play. I have 4 children and my 11 year old plays like a kid always at this museum. Worth the stop! 🙂

Cute museum fostering imagination and creativity

June 2018 • Family fun

We visited the Saratoga Springs children museum on a drizzly Saturday June afternoon.
My daughters 4 and 2.5 had a blast and were asking when we could come back as soon as we left.
The museum has a small parking lot which is free during museum hours. (parking fees go into effect during the evening hours for the downtown scene).
The museum is relatively small and set up as a playspace with different areas/themes for imaginative play. Seems like toddlers and young school age children would have the most fun here. Considering it was a rainy weekend day, I didn’t think the museum was too crowded. Only a few other kids on the downstairs floor. The upstairs floor did have a lot more kids, but was still ample space for everyone to play.
I think 1-2 hours would be a reasonable amount of time to plan for. We will be returning as my girls had so much fun.

There is still something worth seeing

Aug. 2017 • Family Fun

The Petrified Sea Gardens are gone — turned into a quarry, alas — but there is still a small area that is well worth seeing if you are interested in geology or ancient creatures. It is called Lester Park and is at the north end of Petrified Sea Gardens Rd. You can find it if you google it and not hard to find at the side of the road. There is a very small parking area and some explanatory signs.

Unique geological site a short distance from Saratoga Springs, NY. Well marked trails featuring a walk across a 490 million year-old fossil (stromatolites) sea floor;
Domed Cyanobacterial Cabbage-head Stromatolites: Hoyt Limestone of Late Cambrian Age.
Great outdoor activity for families. Also a garden area built by the original owners.

Not there any longer

Aug. 2016 • Family vacation

This was closed a few years ago when a local stone quarry bought it! There is a small area just east of the old place that has the same type of features, it’s called Lester park and is just off the road. I was sorry to see the old place closed down and not able of being seen.

Easier access to stromatolites at neatby Lester Park

2016 • Couples

This was a fun adventure, but I should start by pointing out that you can see stromatolites from the same Hoyt limestone on easily accessed public land just up the road at Lester Park, where there is room to park and you don’t need to trespass on private land. We didn’t know this until just after our visit to Petrified Sea Gardens, which has been closed for a decade.
I chanced on Petrified Sea Gardens on the web, and it seemed !like a good activity while visiting Saratoga Springs. Using the photo of the stone wall entrance on Trip Advisor as a guide, we found the entrance at 42 Petrified Sea Gardens Road easily with google maps. Parking was not trivial, but we managed to pull off the road sufficiently just north of the gate. We went to the right around the locked gate, stepping over a broken down wire fence and a support cable. The open area behind the gate is presumably an old parking area. Keep to the right, passing the swings on your left, to find a small trail at the end of the open area by an old metal cargo/storage box. (There is a different trail behind the swings leading to old picnic tables and eventually to a house, a sure sign that you should turnaround and find the right trail!)
We had enough difficulty finding the fossils on the overgrown trail that we pulled up the GPS coordinates in order to locate them. The trail passes some old restrooms to the right. An old sign describing a grotto marks a side trail to the left to a stone outcropping (the grotto), and does not lead to the exposed stromatolites. Where the grotto trail branches to the left, continue on the main trail (the right fork) and proceed a short distance until you see an opening on a rise in front of you. Some cut logs mark one path onto the rise with the exposed stromatolites. And they are wonderful! Wander around and take lots of pictures. Although these stromatolites are ‘only’ 500 million years old, some stromatolites go back over 2 billion years , and living stromatolites still exist today in Shark Bay, Australia. The cyanobacteria that form stromatolites are the group of bacteria that produced most of the free oxygen on earth, allowing us oxygen breathers to evolve. A cyanobacterium that was taken up into a nucleated cell became the ancestor of chloroplasts, permitting the evolution of plants and things that eat them. Cyanobacteria are not the only bacteria that photosynthesize, but they have had by far the biggest impact on the life we ​​know today.They more frequently get press as toxic ‘algal’ blooms in lakes, but here you can see that they are also things of profound beauty, and contemplate how they made your life possible.
The crevices are filled with ferns, the forest is of green ash, red maple, red oak, pitch pine, etc. You can hear thrushes. Virginia creeper, Prunella, trillium, & others cover the forest floor. This was a great little adventure full of current and ancient beauty.
As soon as we headed back to the north, we ran into Lester Park. We had seen it on the way in, but didn’t stop to see what it is. Here you can safely park on the roadside and see stromatolites from your car window (though you’ll want to look close up). No trespassing or GPS required. I recommend it. Interpretive signs tell you what you are looking at. We only looked at the east side of the road, but apparently there is more on the west side. Hope you have as much fun as we did exploring.

CLOSED

July 2016 • For two

This place has been closed for many years. It’s very overgrown and POSTED. You can see the remains of a former road sign, and if you look hard you will see a large metal swing set from the road. As much as I wanted to get out and walk in and look, I was afraid of Poison Ivy. And getting caught trespassing. All I wanted to do was see a piece of the petrified forest. It’s a shame to see this abandoned. Too bad a piece couldn’t be brought to the local library or historical society (or maybe it already has).

Nice for a quick stop

Feb. 2016 • Couples

Seeing the rocks here is great, and if you happen to be driving from Greenfield to Ballston Spa or back and have an extra few minutes, it might be worth stopping in. There is no welcome center or staff or cetera however, and there might be about 15 minutes of looking. So bring a picnic or check it out on the way, but if you drive a half hour there and expect to make a day of it, you might be disappointed.

Petrified “Marine Algae Growths”

July 2015 • Family fun

It takes some diligence to find this roadside attraction off the spring beaten. The road going past this flat outcropping of stromatolites is named after this historical attraction but it’s easy to drive by quickly. The visitor photos attached above are very representative. Go stand on this Cambrian Era attraction and wonder what the Earth was really like hundreds of millions of years ago….

Not much of a site, unless you are a natural history fan. The site has fossils of stromatilites which are some of the oldest life on earth. The surrounding quarries have removed other history. Too bad it wasn’t protected better

The Introduction to Microeconomics program in the USA is organized by the Center for Talented Youth, which began its activities in the 70s with a single 7th grade boy from Baltimore who could not satisfy his interest in mathematics with school opportunities. Julian Stanley, professor of psychology at Johns Hopkins University, decided to help this boy and give him access to more complex math courses than school. So, at 19In 1979, the Center for Talented Youth was founded. The idea for the center coincided with a national need for bright young minds and the politics of Johns Hopkins University.

Johns Hopkins University opened in 1876, with the inauguration of its first president, Daniel Coit Gilman. Gilman believed that teaching and research are interdependent, that success in one depends on success in the other. A modern university should do both well. The implementation of Gilman’s philosophy at Johns Hopkins revolutionized higher education in America and led to the university research system that exists today.

For more than 130 years, Johns Hopkins University has been a world leader in teaching and research. This university according to The Times ranks 17th in the world and 11th in the United States.

Today, the Center exists on the basis of Johns Hopkins University and is accredited by the Middle States Association of College and Schools Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools. More than 9 students came to the summer programs organized by him in 2012450 students, and online courses numbered more than 13,000 students. The guys come from different parts of the United States and from all over the world, graduates became the founders of Google, the CEO of Facebook and took leadership positions in the sciences, arts, government structures ….

Since 1979, the Center has been constantly expanding, offering an ever wider range of academic opportunities for gifted and talented youth. The goal of the Center is to become a leader in the education of advanced students around the world, providing them with access to quality education, creating and disseminating research on the development of the potential of talented youth.

The center aims to become a world leader in the education of all students of high academic ability, its mission is to find and develop the brightest minds in the world.

Today, the Center is a non-profit organization that selects young people with great academic potential through annual summer programs and then develops their intelligence through more advanced programs, online courses and other opportunities. The Center’s students regularly compete in leading national academic competitions such as the Intel Science Talent Competition and the Rhodes Scholar Awards.

CTY Summer Programs offer bright students the opportunity to go beyond the curriculum to take on challenging academic work in the company of peers who share their exceptional ability and love of learning. While the focus is on rigorous academics and learning, the social experience that comes from bringing these students together is an integral part of the program.

Today, 25 campuses in the US and Hong Kong serve thousands of students annually from the US and dozens of countries around the world. 3 weeks of immersion in academic courses of various kinds, meetings with no less capable peers – a serious impetus for intellectual and personal growth. The small class size (from 12 to 18 people) and the high level of teachers’ qualifications guarantee success. Outside of the classroom, students participate in a varied and interesting activity program – from sports and games to talent shows and team building.

This course is a Super Intensive at an advanced level. It is designed to help students prepare for their university or college studies.

A lively exchange of ideas and a collaborative search for solutions to problems – this is what, and not the standard lectures, are at the heart of this course. In such courses, students participate in the discovery process by applying theoretical concepts and theories to real situations and thus becoming more informed and educated people.

Courses in the program are taught at a level equivalent to advanced high school or first year college. As students are exposed to new areas of academic study, they benefit from focused, individual learning and from in-depth study of the subject with peers who share their interests and abilities.

Teaching methodology

The academic program of the Summer School includes research and an in-depth course of study, which is an introduction to the university-level discipline for schoolchildren. The program goes beyond the standard middle or high school curriculum. The Summer School curriculum aims to help students develop their analytical and critical thinking skills by immersing them in a specific discipline over a three-week intensive course of study.

Children explore cutting-edge concepts through a process of discovery and participation, which helps build interest in their chosen disciplines. Through hands-on research and thought-provoking exercises, students learn to make connections between abstract ideas and their use in various fields of science and technology.

Introduction to Microeconomics

Prerequisites : good knowledge of algebra. Ability to do calculations using symbols and basic properties (associativity, commutativity and distributivity) of arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) for various sets of numbers (natural numbers, integers, rational, irrational and real numbers), simplifying expressions with variables and constants and solve linear equations.

Alfred Marshall called economics “the study of humanity in the ordinary business of life.” How much are you willing to pay for ice cream on a hot summer day? Who is responsible for the material consequences of environmental pollution? Is there such a thing as a perfectly competitive market? Why has Google been accused of monopolistic practices? Microeconomics provides insight into these issues as it examines how individual buyers and sellers make decisions about the allocation of scarce resources.

In this course, students analyze microeconomic theory and place it in the context of the current economic climate. They begin by examining the fundamental concepts of supply and demand curves, price elasticity, market structure, public goods, and external factors. Students build on this foundation to explore topics from a wide range of microeconomics: competition, consumer choice, monopoly, oligopoly, and the role of government in promoting efficiency and equity.

By applying mathematical concepts and critical analysis to economic theory, students are introduced to economic analysis and predicting changes in the behavior of both consumers and producers. Students leave the course with a solid foundation in the fundamentals of microeconomics and with an understanding of the practical economic issues that affect us all.

Additional information

Do I need my own computer for classes?

No. There is a computer lab on campus for specific assignments. Students are welcome to bring their own laptop, but the administration cannot be held responsible if it is damaged or lost.

Nutrition

The student canteen offers a wide variety of dishes for every meal, the menu is varied enough to offer vegetarian options. In addition, a gluten-free table and kosher meals are available for an additional fee.

Staffs supervise students and will help to solve any problem that has arisen. For every 15 children, 1 staff lives in the residence. Staffs also plan and organize activities on weekdays and weekends. However, students must wake up on their own, practice personal hygiene with minimal reminders, and look after their belongings.

Do students have time to relax and have fun?

Yes! Although the main focus is on academic learning, social experience is nevertheless an integral part of the program. In addition to the curriculum, they enjoy daily activities and weekend activities!

Both in and out of the classroom, students are encouraged to try new things, consider different perspectives, and play an active role in building and maintaining a community of peers.

In addition to their studies, children enjoy enriching experiences of life outside the classroom. Under the supervision of staff assistants, they participate in many activities in the afternoon and weekend. More importantly, they get to know other students, their peers, with diverse interests, exceptional academic ability, and a love of learning. Long lasting friendships develop as students learn from each other both in and out of the classroom. The diversity of curricula and interests of the children is part of the educational experience provided by this summer program, and the organizers of the program strongly encourage students to take advantage of the opportunity to learn from others who are different from them.

Afternoon activities

When students are not studying, they participate in activities. The goal of the organizers is to develop such a variety of activities so that each student can find something that he likes. Activities range from board games, athletics, and arts and crafts to more esoteric activities (such as “Hiding in Obvious Places”).

What do students do on weekends?

Weekends are held on campus and events may include dances, talent shows, carnival days, movie screenings, sports tournaments, and water days. Weekends also include rest time, when students can relax, wash clothes, and communicate with peers.

All students participate in recreational and social activities on campus during the weekend. Activities are planned and supervised by the administrative staff and include sports, games and special events. Students can expect their weekends to be filled with events such as evening dances, talent shows, carnivals and film screenings. Students also have free time on Sunday mornings to do laundry or just relax and chat with friends. The weekend ends with a mandatory two-hour lesson on Sunday evening.

Schedule

Students must attend all classes and all activity periods. The schedule is strict and structured and students must be prepared to have very little free time. The days are filled with activities, but it is aimed at ensuring that the children have the maximum pleasure both in the classroom and outside of it.

Boys and girls live on different campuses, they are not allowed to visit campuses where their friends of the opposite sex live. Most of the rooms are doubles, sometimes singles or triples. Bathrooms are shared on a block of several rooms.

The infrastructure of the campuses varies depending on the location – a gym, tennis courts, outdoor sports fields, a swimming pool and rooms for musical practice. However, it can only be used in conjunction with other program participants and only under the supervision of the summer school staff during the scheduled periods of activity. For these reasons, the individual use of the infrastructure capabilities of the campus is impossible.
